I can usually get into a JODI PICOULT story from jump, and Nineteen Minutes was no different She really has an uncanny way of getting into the teen psyche. It was so raw and honest (typical JP) and you can't ask for more than that in a book.
One bonus from reading Jodi Picoult is that I usually learn a lot about things I never would have [thought] I would find interesting before. This story, in particular, deals with the subject of midwifery and I really enjoyed that POV. There were some difficult situations to deal with and she writes with such perfection that it is almost like you're there in the midst of it all. This made it a little tough at times for me being the mom of a teen with some issues, but all-in-all it was a great read.
Notes: I read half of this on my Nook, then I lost my charger during a move so a year later I grabbed the paperback at B&N. I also purchased the audio version on Audible, but only listened to a few early chapters to catch up to where I had left off the first time.
